Simone Biles Says Husband Jonathan Owens Steered Her Out of the ‘Dark Phase’ Without Being ‘Bossy’

If you were wondering where Jonathan Owens was off to next after his stint with the Packers, wonder no more as his wife has made his next move social media-official. The Olympic gymnast, excited by the change of scenery, announced Owens’s next landing spot, with pride and excitement, on X.

Like the cheerleader she has always been, Biles was ecstatic as she announced “CHICAGO HERE HE COMES.” It seems Jonathan Owens has signed with the Chicago Bears. According to ESPN Bears reporter Courtney Cronin, the deal is for two years, but the figures are yet to be announced. Owens joins the Bears’ secondary alongside seasoned safeties Kevin Byard, who was acquired in free agency, and Jaquan Brisker, a second-round pick from 2022.

While rumors abound about Owens potentially ending his short stint with the Packers, Biles has finally confirmed the news. In one year with the Packers, Owena tallied 84 tackles, one sack, and one forced fumble. This is the third team for Owens in six years, spending his first four seasons with the Houston Texans.
More than Owens being added to the roster, Bears fans are hyped about Biles’ star power as one fan wrote, “Thank you for bringing the star power back to this organization,” and another called the gymnast “Chicagos new Queen.”

One Packers fan lamented the loss of Aaron Jones and Biles in one blow to the Green Gang as they wrote, “We really lost Simon Biles and Aaron Jones in the same offseason. This sh*t sucks yo.” The trolling continued as people continued to ignore Owens’s induction into the Chicago franchise and celebrate Biles’s involvement instead as one tweet read, “The Chicago Bears gained an extraordinary athlete today. Oh, and they signed safety Jonathan Owens, too.”

Clearly, both Chicago and Biles are excited about this change in Owen’s franchise. While Chicago is excited to have Biles on their side, apart from her husband’s achievements, some other things have got Biles excited about this move.

Why is Simone Biles so Excited About Owens’s Move to Chicago?

Simone Biles is HYPED about her husband’s new move, and rightfully so. In a series of tweets, the Olympic champion gave several reasons for why this move has got her pumped, apart from just her husband getting a fresh start. Before that, she thanked the Packers and Green Bay for being the couple’s home and being accepting of them:

The first reason for Simone to be ecstatic about the move is the reduction in the distance between the training grounds of both athletes. The gymnast shared her excitement at not having to take a connecting flight to visit her husband. The couple recently laid their roots in Texas.

The 7x Olympic medalist is also excited about all the Chicago-style pizzas and sausages she will get to devour every time she visits her husband in his new home base.

And finally, and most importantly, she just loves Chicago! Biles and Bears are thrilled about this new turn in Jonathan Owens’s career. The safety had a commendable season with the Packers’ defense, appearing in all 17 games for the second time in his career. He ranked third on the team with 84 total tackles, in addition to recording three passes defended, two tackles for loss, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, and a sack. How will he do in Chicago? Either way, his biggest cheerleader is going to be right by his side.
